DEEP CRANK COLORS

John Crews has caught thousands of bass on deep crankbaits. Listen to him explain all the colors you really need to be an effective deep crank bass angler. He shows you his SPRO Little John DD and Super DD collection to demonstrate the color options. The colors he talks about are applicable to any crankbait brand.

Just received an order of LJ DD 70's from Spro in the mail last week, and caught a couple of nice spots on them. I had the best luck with the chart blue, middle of the day, clear water with some wind. I really like the way they run.

Fished your crankbaits AND a Missle Quiver last week on Belews Lake just south of you. Nailed the bass!

[@Unknownuser_1954]

I've been fishing for 15 yrs and I bought my first little Jon's this January and man I love these crank baits. They have their own wiggle, but it's more of a cross than wiggle.

[@New2Kendo]

I wish you had more of the Citrus Light, and Perch, especially in the DD 90. I caught my PB Smallie on the DD 70 Citrus Light.

Nice video John! I too wish someone would respond regarding the black/blue at night versus white shad pattern. I know that Matt @ tactical Bassin also says that white shad colors work great at night and does not have to be black. I have not done a lot of nighttime cranking, but may in the future. God bless!

I’ve caught most of my night time bass on chartreuse with a black back.

Mr Crews,you are a trusted source of technique and knowledge backed by success and a long and storied career in B.A.S.S;so I noticed you have the GamaKatsu long shank,round bend trebles on your plugs-what is your input behind going with those rather than,lets say a short shank EWG treble;like I prefer on the 90 % majority of my hard baits?-a curious cranking enthusiast wants to know...

[@JohnCrews]

Round bend are best all around. EWG can work great in hot water but not best for all customers

[@Fishingforbasstv]

nice vid brotha

I like throwing the dark blue deep crankbaits in muddy-dingy waters.

[@tvance111]

Why can i not find bluegill, sunfish, pumpkin seed options for deep cranking? We all know bream don't just live out to 10 feet deep. I've brought them out of 30 and 40 feet of water. And we all also know bass will eat them too. Haha I've used jigs and swim baits in bream colors down deep and it worked. But, i can't find deep driving crankbaits in these options. Do they exist or is it just me?

[@kballhog]

Hi John. What gear ratio do you prefer for deep cranking using the Daiwa Tatula 150?

[@brandonburker7330]

Tell us about the new cashion rods?? I saw u put something on Instagram about it

[@travischilcot8730]

Are SPRO crankbaits designed to bump along the bottom or through the water column/brush?

[@WarEagleTheBest]

Why this lure weight exactly 1Oz, and on the package -3/4Oz?

[@JohnCrews]

Not sure to be honest

[@Roboworm99]

Why don’t you throw craw colors? Is there a depth range you do throw craw colors?

[@JohnCrews]

I throw craw colors in the Rock Crawler but not much in the deeper divers. A red craw needs to be thrown at Clear Lake but that’s a lake specific deal

[@ericporterfield8492]

Homemade shad is legit !!!!

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Funny my Cell Mate looks just like Johns! Lol

[@josephlassiter1412]

What rod is that? I want 3

[@kerryschallon8879]

Not a big fan of most Spro crankbait colors (paint jobs). I do like some of the Rock Crawler colors though..

[@NoahC76]

It always surprises me when a pro angler doesn't have a reel sponsor but that allows them to use whatever they want I suppose. 🤔🤷🏽‍♂️

[@JohnCrews]

Correct

[@NoahC76]

@@JohnCrews Do pro anglers get paid with sponsors? I've always wondered how they make a living if they have a bad tournament year.

[@tyleroser2015]

These cranks are fish catching machines

[@Shawn_Lai]

Did you get huge forearms from all that deep cranking? Or from wrist rolls from a dangling weight? Haha. Best you break some LargeJaws when you lip em!

[@Shawn_Lai]

DD mean Deep Diver, Ditch Digger, Double D's, Double Down, or Down Deep? Haha. I think Lil John Ditch Digger sounds best.

[@JohnCrews]

It’s what you want it to be! I like Ditch Digger too!

[@John_D2]

Tatula 150 P is money.

[@anthonyhill3771]

If you’re looking for what color to water you fish, you won’t find in this video. He only mentioned clear water a couple times around 7 minutes in video. Not much detail other than what he uses and how many he caught. Just saving you folks time from watching
